Nelson Family

One thing I am not used to doing is photographing older children! This photo session was definitely different for me. The children smiled when I was about to take their picture. No one cried. No one ran off. The parent's didn't get stressed out. I have to admit that not having the "craziness" was a bit strange for me. I didn't have to take 20 pictures of each pose to ensure everyone was looking at the camera, they just did it! All of the kids were so respectful and well behaved. I know this wasn't their idea of a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon, but they went along with all of my crazy ideas and even came up with a few of their own! I did learn a lot from this session about lighting and posing. I think most people want that relaxed candid shot, but it is hard to get! Thank you Nelson family for taking a risk on me!
